SouthWestZippy avatar reviewed on + 265 more book reviews


On February 25, 1957 a young boy was found in a cardboard box. Despite the efforts of detectives remains unsolved. In November 1998 the remains were exhumed for DNA testing. In June of 2002 a woman comes forward with a compelling and heartbreaking story. Leaving you with so many unanswerable questions.
The book does tend to jump around a bit and Author does a lot of speculation on the subject but does draw you in and keep you reading.
